EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Edition Cover Star Revealed: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Returns

EA has officially confirmed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will grace the cover of EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Edition, marking the Swedish legend’s return to the franchise since FIFA 23. This announcement arrives alongside confirmation of an upcoming reveal trailer, scheduled to debut on July 16.

Following EA’s split from FIFA in 2022, the newly rebranded EA Sports FC franchise has aimed to redefine football gaming. The debut title, FC 24, launched in 2023 with significant upgrades in visuals, AI, and gameplay modes. Its successor, FC 25, refined these features further and introduced additions like the Rush 5v5 mode, Ultimate Team without contracts, Player Evolutions, and women’s leagues in Career Mode. Now, all eyes are on FC 26 to continue that momentum.
